      @@karenmoynihanfarm you are very welcome I am an Older Irish guy living and working in France I have taken on an Olive grove of about 55 trees and I have planted 150 wine vines in between them. All the locals think I am crazy but sure what the hell. My sisters said that I should be retired but we Irish don’t like to sit around and watch paint dry. At this time of my life I don’t get enough time to work in the garden but it’s a tonic for me now. I know you work very hard but it’s in you. And your Dad is a special inspiration for you. I hope that we are coming out of these crazy difficult times and that we can get on with what we love to do. Best wishes Desmond

    Another delightful video 🙂 It was good to see dad and daughter working together . Using the water barrels to protect the licks show just how switched on and innovative you are. I did smile at how the cow had her head in the barrel enjoying the lick as soon as you had finished securing it. . Also good to see you have the courage of your own convictions and top the weeds and rushes against your dads thoughts.

    Not to be morbid , I am from a big family , but I spent many years with dad on the farm . When he passed away in 2009... Lord I missed him so much , sometimes I thought I'd see him standing with his fork .... So enjoy all and every moment with your dad , even when he's grumpy .

    Hi Karen,
    Great video. When I first saw the lick bucket, my initial thought was they are a no-no with TB in the area. But your idea with the water barrels and using the poles was a brilliant one. Every day is a school day, I might look into using lick buckets again. Fair play.

  • @JonDingle

    Interesting video young lady.
    One bit of advice, learn to use a grinder with the handle mounted on the left hand side. How you were using the grinder with the wheel spinning towards you (The sparks were going away from you and thus giving away the direction of rotation) will result in a snag/snatch which could result in an injury and or damage to the disc and or grinder. Always, have the disc spinning away and direct the sparks to the ground. You will have more control because you can feel how the cutting action is working and have more time to react. The way you were cutting, you have very little control over the grinder.
    Grinders are one of the most dangerous tools in the workshop. At least you did have a handle mounted and the guard, just using it all wrong. Please do not be tempted to bin the handle or guard.
